Benfleet Yacht Club sits along the shore of Benfleet Creek on the northern coast of Canvey Island, Essex.

Founded in 1922 by a group of local sailing enthusiasts, it is one of the area's long-established clubs, originally based on the northern bank of the creek near Benfleet Station before relocating to its current site in 1963.

The club caters to dinghy sailors, cruiser sailors, and coastal rowers. Dinghy sailing and rowing take place in the sheltered waters of Benfleet Creek itself, while the creek also serves as a gateway to the Thames Estuary and beyond for yacht cruising.

The club holds a large number of tidal moorings and provides on-shore storage for both yachts and dinghies.
